  CWAS 721: Technology of Furniture Making: Structure

  This course provides the attendees with a general knowledge of the
  materials and processes employed in making furniture in both pre-
  and mechanized eras. Particularly important is the review of tools
  and their uses, so that an observer can identify their
  "fingerprints" on an object, and thus provide clues as to the means
  by which the object was made, Through demonstration and "hands-on"
  exercises the attendees will be compiling a reference collection of
  tool marks and techniques to use for the remainder of their
  careers.   Instructor:  Donald C. Williams

  CWAS 470: History, Technology, and Preservation of Specialty
  Papers, Archives Materials, and Ephemera

  Many collections found in libraries, archives, museums and private
  collections contain unique specialty papers. Specialty papers (such
  as dyed, coated or tracing papers) are used for many types of
  objects (including letters, maps, sketches, illustrations,
  architectural drawings, posters and greeting cards). This course is
  designed to familiarize professionals with the nature and diversity
  of specialty papers, training participants through lectures and
  laboratory demonstrations in techniques used to identify the
  composition and condition of these types of collections. The course
  will cover case studies about traditional and specialty papers
  researched and analyzed at the Smithsonian. Information used to
  appraise collections will also be discussed. The course is intended
  to inform prospective caretakers and appraisers on the nature of
  these materials.   Instructor:  Dianne van der Reyden
